We have a chat room for the smallest of talks!

Rather than using Discord, we are using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It’s pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn’t be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Here’s a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/
